The Edition of the Old-Latin Texts of the Actus Apostolorum

公元2世纪开始出现的拉丁文圣经译本，可以通过手稿和基督教作者作品中的引文来重建、本地化和确定年代。关于《使徒行传》的文本，我们面临着各种不同的文本类型，这些文本直到中世纪都很有影响力，并经历了各种修订，最终形成了一个相对同质的拉丁文文本。自2002年以来，这一复杂的传播历史一直是密切研究的主题，其结果将在Beuron Archabbey赞助下发表在Vetus Latina系列杂志上。2009年，Vetus Latina研究所提供了现存手稿的照片。由于DFG的资助，对这些手稿进行了整理，即对其文本进行解码并输入数字数据库；这项任务是在拨款期限内完成的。根据DFG审稿人的建议，在VL研究所的许可下，我们从2013年开始逐步将这些整理在网上（http://nttf.klassphil.uni-mainz.de/196.php）提供给科学界。国际上对该版本的反应表明，在出版前投入额外的时间和精力来审查和协调校勘是合理的；这一程序导致了原计划的调整（在与DFG协商后，该任务的截止日期从2013年夏季推迟到2014年1月，没有造成任何额外费用）。如果获得额外的资助，将使我们能够完成在线出版（到目前为止，第1至12章的整理已经在网上发布），并使学生研究人员参与编辑过程成为可能。完成第一章的编辑（2014年出版）将为他们提供一个模板，其中包括执行复杂准备工作所需的所有技术细节，该模板将在编辑过程中进行修改：1)生成所谓的Schemata：基于主要证人（即最能代表各自文本类型的证人），每种文本类型的行必须在整理的基础上安排在Schema中。这在第9章之前已经完成了。2)对于每一节诗，正字法仪器列出所有的手稿，它们的空白或难以辨认的段落，正字法错误和特殊的拼写。(3)位于德国<s:1> nster的新约文本研究学院已经为我们提供了在希腊文本传统中发现的一系列变体。因此，如果一个拉丁版本可以追溯到一个可验证的希腊版本，这种关系也被记录下来（学生研究人员精通两种语言）。4)见证装置包含教父的证据（包括所有教父的引用和明显的典故），按字母顺序排列每一节经文；它是在数据库的基础上构建的。

The Latin bible translations, which began to emerge in the 2nd century AD, can be reconstructed, localised and dated by means of manuscripts as well as of quotations found in the works of the Christian authors. With regard to the text of the Acts of the Apostles, we are faced with a variety of different text types, which were influential until the Middle Ages and underwent various revisions eventually leading to a relatively homogeneous Vulgate text. Since 2002, this complex history of transmission has been the subject of a close examination, whose results will be published in the Vetus Latina series under the patronage of the Archabbey in Beuron. In 2009, the Vetus Latina Institute provided photographs of the manuscripts extant today. Due to the DFG funding, these manuscripts were collated, i.e. their text was decoded and entered into a digital database; this task was accomplished within the grant duration. As recommended by the DFG reviewers, we have gradually been making these collations accessible online (http://nttf.klassphil.uni-mainz.de/196.php) for the scientific community since 2013 with the permission of the VL Institute. The international response to this release showed that it was justified to invest additional time and effort in reviewing and harmonising the collations before their publication; this procedure had led to an adjustment of the original schedule (after consultation with the DFG, the due date for this task was postponed from summer 2013 to January 2014 without causing any further expenses). Additional funding, if granted, will enable us to complete the online publication (so far, collations for chapters 1 to 12 have been released online) and will make possible the involvement of the student researchers within the editing process. The completion of editing the 1st chapter (publication in 2014) will provide them with a template including all the technical details needed to execute the complex preparatory work, which will be revised during the editing process: 1) Generating the so-called Schemata: Based on the main witnesses (i.e. the witnesses which best represent the respective text type), the lines for every single text type have to be arranged in a Schema on the basis of the collations. This has already been carried out up to chapter 9. 2) For every single verse, the orthographic apparatus lists all manuscripts, their lacunae or illegible passages, orthographic mistakes and peculiar spellings. 3) The Institute for New Testament Textual Research in Münster has made the range of variants found within the Greek textual tradition accessible to us. Thus, if a Latin version can be traced back to a verifiable Greek Vorlage, this relation is documented as well (the student researchers are proficient in both languages). 4) The witness apparatus contains the patristic evidence (consisting of all church father citations and obvious allusions) in alphabetical order for every single verse; it is constructed on the basis of databases.
